Probably because you're too busy looking for stuff they don't stock to notice.
As I don't require organic quinoa, it's not been a problem.

This. Bypassed the scanner things and went straight to online and delivery option. There was a lovely class of milf in the local supermarket- kind of miss that element. But not the screaming kids and the OAPs dawdling around their only trip out of the house for the week.
What's the best thing about Sainsbury's?
Keeps the riff raff out of Waitrose.
I'd have waitied for them to scan the lot, pack it into bags. Then decided I didn't want it and left. unexpected item in the depacking-it-yourself isle.

FTFY
My latest Waitrose humiliation was in the Uttoxeter branch where they have a sloping travellator from the car park to the shop.
I strode sharply onto it, just ahead of a couple of Waitrose standard issue yummy mummies and I ground to a halt on the slope - couldn't go any further.
Having just stopped off from a double session at Derby Velodrome my legs were like jelly, but I couldn't think of a way of communicating it to those overtaking me without making myself look more of a sad old fat man than I had already acheived. 😳

You mean Basingstoke flashy?
Humiliated in Waitrose....
Sounds like it could be an elaborate BDSM role play scenario.
I heard this from a partner at Waitrose..... Well to do mother and daughter were doing their shop using the scanner. Said mother gets pinged for a random check. Her first words to the Waitrose partner were “My daughter has been scanning as well.” The shopping starts getting run through the checkout and lo and behold 80 quids worth of beer wine and spirits hasn’t been scanned.....
I’ve been randomly checked before, it’s nothing to worry about.
if nobody slipped something really expensive into his trolley you should all be ashamedgenuinely had this in a Waitrose a few years ago. Indignant chap was incredibly rude to the young check out girl who had to re-scan his stuff. Kept banging on about how much he spent in Waitrose and how he didn't have to tolerate this - pretty much exactly the same shite as in that letter.
Happened to my old man - random checks and false accusations with apologies after Tesco staff read receipts properly.
I will use self check outs but always check.
Would never use those self hand scanners - stupid idea.
This article is now the most viewed on the Guardian website...

Really? The hand scanners save loads of time by only having to bag things once whereas the self check aisles are so frustratingly slow and crap, they should be banished to the same bit of hell as the inventor of coffee pods.
How's your dad, there's a John Lewis in the Stoke now! With a Waitrose!
No idea what else is in the town, I'm afraid. Never venture in. Zombies, probably.
actually, I was humiliated in Waitrose once - neighbour caught me buying an "essentials" range product 🙁
Was it the Essentials Jumbo King Prawns, or the Essentials Rosemary and Sea Salt Focaccia?

I'm sorry but that letter has to be a troll, it reads like something from the Daily Mash.
Funnily enough Aldi can still have just ‘normal’ checkouts with staff and still get you through quick. Numerous times I’ve muttered ‘bollocks’ under my breath as I see the queue at the checkout, but miraculously it turns out that if you aren’t asked “are you ok with your packing?” after every other item and generally mollycoddled you can get through a checkout quickly. They even provide a shelf so you can then spend more of your free time organizing your shopping (if that’s what gets you off), but without inconveniencing anyone else.
Quite why we have to have supermarket shopping made into a ‘customer experience’ is beyond me. Minimise the time I spend doing it and you get my vote every time.
A few milfs wouldn’t go amiss, though.

Best humblebrag of the thread. Weekend away with the Mrs was it?

Self-service checkouts seem a great idea when stealth-buying the weekend supplies of condoms, red wine and lube. Until the ‘AUTHORISATION NEEDED’ starts flashing for the wine...
My mum got caught in a random security check in Tesco a few years ago. She hadn't scanned some yoghurts. She was absolutely mortified. Being the sympathetic Son I reacted in the only way I could. I faked a letter from the local police station saying that they had been informed of her attempted theft, although they would not charge her this time, they had placed her name on the list of troublemakers that is circulated to all local retailers.
She still hasn't seen the funny side all these years later.
I used to work with a guy who routinely used the self-scan at Tescos to shoplift. He argued that they were making enough profit anyway so it was ok...

I do genuinely prefer Aldi, but the disappointment is palpable when you think you’re behind the one milf for the week, then they turn around......

It's one shot Whack-A-Mole
Another one who doesn't deserve to shop in Waitrose.
You spell it guacamole.

Despite being a grown man I still find it impossible to just buy condoms I always end up buying a few other items to hide them amongst as I walk around the shop

wiggles is having more fun on weekends than me I tell thee
Worked with a bloke who refused to pay for food. Full loaded trolley out the door of Tesco without paying every week. He always had lovely butties at lunch time.
